Live updates when the Queen’s platinum anniversary celebrations begin in Birmingham

Happy platinum anniversary weekend! This is the beginning of a long, four-day break for most of us to celebrate 70 impressive years of our Queen’s reign.

We will blog live during the long banking holiday, presenting you with photos, videos and stories about everything that is happening in Birmingham and the Midlands for the anniversary.

Birmingham certainly knows how to organize a good party and has something to get involved in the city and elsewhere in the Midlands. There will be street parties, big lunches, fairs, festivals and more – check out our big event here to find out what’s going on near you.

Do you have a party at home? We have a lot of ideas and tips like the best muffins for afternoon tea on the cheapest decorations for supermarkets for a budget party, and a recipe for the famous jubilee trifle . We also have a list everything you can do with children during the long weekend.

Are you partying for the Queen this weekend? We will be glad to see your photos! Send an email to zoe.chamberlain@reachplc.com with any details.
